On 05-08-13 at 2305 hrs, Yakima Police were summoned to the 1300 block of Garfield Avenue for a report of shots fired. Shortly after the report of shots fired, officers were advised of a gunshot victim at the residence. When officers arrived, they encountered an intoxicated male in the back yard of a residence. The man had what appeared to be a gunshot wound to his right forearm. Paramedics arrived to treat the victim’s injury and later transported him to a local hospital for treatment. The man provided very little information to police. Anyone with additional information is urged to contact the Yakima Police Department at 575-6200.
